Sol 4323: Right Navigation Camera, Cylindrical Projection

A grayscale panorama of the Martian surface shows a brightly lit, wide field of flat terrain dotted with flat, angular, medium rocks, all in dark gray, stretching into the distance where a large butte rises from the ground. A portion of the Curiosity rover is visible in the lower left and lower right corners of the image.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity took 31 images in Gale Crater using its mast-mounted Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) to create this mosaic. The seam-corrected mosaic provides a 360-degree cylindrical projection panorama of the Martian surface centered at 220 degrees azimuth (measured clockwise from north). Curiosity took the images on October 04, 2024, Sol 4323 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission at drive 1290, site number 109. The local mean solar time for the image exposures was 2 PM. Each Navcam image has a 45 degree field of view.
